Michele,

I use the Analogous color wheel most often now to make decisions about dominant color in an analogous scheme. When I first began I used is as an"Analogous Color Guide for Dummies"; dial in your dominant color. If you don't see, don't use it.

Incidentally, the back cover of the Analogous wheel contains a Munsell wheel.

I use my Steven Quiller color wheel most often to check relative color temperatures, and to mix earth colors (since I don't have them on my palette).

Michael,

Just a note to support your use of objective nomenclature (perhaps this should be a separate thread under "Tips"). I think we should all use descriptors like this, instead of nebulous terms like "sky blue" (!?) or "leaf green". I encourage readers of my book to think color-value-saturation, although I think it is even more useful to describe saturation as a number on a scale, rather than "fully saturated, slightly desaturated", or "extremely desaturated", as I have done to date.

Could you desribe your chroma scale, please?
